The efficacy and safety of ramucirumab plus docetaxel in older patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

Significant findings of the study ・PFS, OS, and ORR in older patients were similar to those under 75 years of age. ・Safety of RAM+DOC was well tolerated in older patients with prophylactic PEG-G-CSF. ・Prophylactic PEG-G-CSF with RAM+DOC may contribute to better efficacy. What this study adds ・This study suggests that RAM+DOC with prophylactic PEG-G-CSF is expected to be a useful option in older patients with advanced NSCLC.
